Chapter 123: Those who retreat without permission will be killed without mercy
From the beginning of the charge to the present, more than sixty cavalrymen were killed one after another before they even reached the car formation, and this accounted for nearly half of the casualties of the first wave of cavalry.
Even the second wave of cavalry in the rear lost more than ten cavalrymen in the shelling.
Combined, the two had already caused them to lose nearly eighty cavalrymen.
This number is no less than the hundreds of casualties caused by the explosion when they attacked the transport convoy guarded by the Sixth Heavy Artillery Regiment.
The more than 800 cavalrymen before the war actually fought with the Qingshan Patrol Battalion and the 6th Heavy Artillery Regiment for less than ten minutes, but they had already killed or injured more than 100 cavalrymen.
This loss is not small!
Although Fang Yuanxin already felt that his cavalry had suffered too many casualties, he still did not issue an order to retreat. Instead, he urged the second and third waves of cavalry to speed up the attack through flags and drums.
Since they have already suffered such heavy casualties, they must be even more determined to achieve victory. They want to destroy the Sixth Heavy Artillery Regiment, and they must not allow the Sixth Heavy Artillery Regiment to successfully reach outside Chongguang City, otherwise.
Chongguang City is in danger!
Guang'an is in danger!
The first wave of cavalry has already rushed within a hundred meters, the second and third waves of cavalry are about to attack, and the Guang'an cavalry is about to attack across the board!
Fang Yuanxin wanted to charge forward regardless of the casualties of his cavalry, but Lin Ziran was naturally unwilling to be defeated.
Once the defense line is breached, the Qingshan patrol camp will be finished. Lin Ziran's fate will probably not be much better. Even if it is for his own life, Lin Ziran will fight to the end!
at all costs!
Lin Ziran looked around at his subordinates. He once again raised his command knife high and said loudly: "Send the order to the entire army!"
"Those who have made meritorious service today will be promoted to the third level!"
"Everyone who joins the war today will receive three months' salary!"
"If you become disabled, I, Lin Ziran, will support you for the rest of your life."
"If you die in battle, I, Lin Ziran, will support your family for the rest of your life!"
"I will personally deliver the pension to your home!"
"If you violate this oath, I, Lin Zi, will be struck by lightning from the sky and will die badly!"
As Lin Ziran's words came out, his personal guards shouted and repeated Lin Ziran's words, so that Lin Ziran's words spread throughout the army and every soldier could hear them.
Today, at this moment, Lin Ziran has used all possible methods to boost morale.
He and the officers took the lead on the defense line, and he also commanded the battle while riding a tall horse. This was actually more dangerous than the soldiers hiding behind vehicles.
At the same time, various promises are given out as if they are free of charge!
Promotion to the third level, three months' salary, three times pension, supporting a family and the like.
Even the self-identification of Lao Tzu, which I rarely talk about on weekdays, has been shouted out.
In the past six months, in order to make himself look more stable and become a real warlord leader, Lin Ziran always claimed to be an official.
Only on a few private occasions would he call himself Lao Tzu as cunningly as before.
But today, he doesn't care about so much!
One bite for me, one bite for reward!
Although the words were rude, they gave many soldiers a sense of tragic courage and a mentality of allowing their families to live a good life even if they died in battle.
They came to serve as soldiers, not for any ideals or to be loyal to Lin Ziran. They just wanted to have enough to eat. If they could still have some spare money to send home to support their families, then that would be great.
To put it bluntly, they are purely serving as soldiers to feed themselves!
It is only natural to buy your life with money!
And the soldiers all know that Lin Ziran has always been a man of his word. This is known to all officers, whether they are soldiers and officers who are old bandits, or newly recruited peasant soldiers.
Lin Ziran always speaks the truth.
Not long after I arrived in Qingshan Town last year, I promised a heavy reward when I was defending the city. Even if Lin Ziran's small treasury was very poor afterwards, and even if he extorted money everywhere, Lin Ziran never lost a copper coin from the soldiers.
When encountering enemy troops several times in the future, Lin Ziran would sometimes give out rewards for intense periods, and he would always cash them in afterwards.
Even for the pensions for the war dead, Lin Ziran paid not less than a dime, and all of them were sent to the families of the war dead.
And these are not for the dead in battle, but for the soldiers who are still alive.
What's more important is that most of the soldiers know that Qingshan Oil Company is Lin Ziran's industry. To put it bluntly, Lin Ziran is rich, very rich!
Therefore, they don’t have to worry at all that Lin Ziran will break his promise!
If you are injured, Lin Ziran will take care of you. Even if your family members are killed in battle, Lin Ziran will take care of you.
In these troubled times, what is more important than this promise?
there is none left!
In this troubled world, life is as cheap as a dog. Even the regular soldiers in Luo An's army actually have no pension.
It is available in name, but in fact it is rarely distributed, because every vassal town is short of money, and if it is very short of money, it will be easy to spend the funds on the dead and injured.
After all, it is easy for them to recruit soldiers. Even if they do not pay a dime in pensions, there is actually no shortage of soldiers. A large number of poor children are lining up to join the army and have a meal.
But Lin Ziran is different. He believes that pensions can effectively boost the morale of the troops.
It is true that he does not need to pay even a dime of pension. He directly drives the disabled out of the army and leaves them to live and die, and directly throws the corpses of the dead in the wilderness without caring about their families. This will still not affect his recruitment of troops.
Because there are countless farm children who want to join the army and have enough to eat.
However, Lin Ziran's idea is that the overall quality of the Qingshan patrol camp is low, and the tactical literacy of both officers and soldiers is not as good as ordinary and formal. Not to mention the quality of tactical actions in a war is not high, and it is also
The important point is that the courage of the soldiers is not good and their morale is low.
That's why he wanted to use this intensity to boost the morale of the soldiers!
It doesn't matter whether the reloading speed is slow or the combat quality is low. It doesn't even matter if the soldiers are nervous enough to tremble.
Lin Ziran only asked them to fight to the death and not to collapse!
Keep fighting, this is Lin Ziran's only expectation and requirement!
Next to Lin Ziran, Luo Mazi was riding on horseback. Even though his legs were a little weak, he still showed what it means to be an excellent loser.
I saw him shouting: "You treat me like a countryman, and I will repay you like a countryman!"
Luo Mazi screamed loudly, then took aim and shot with a mini rifle modified from Fu Yuan's gun.
In the car formation next door, Scar glanced at Lin Ziran, took a few deep breaths, raised his command knife high, and rode his horse behind his soldiers while shouting: "We eat from adults and drink from adults.
Wear adult clothes!”
"They say it takes a thousand days to raise an army, but it takes a moment to use it!"
"Now, today, it's time to work hard for the adults!"
"Hit me hard!"
"Kill them!"
On the other hand, Wu Dajiang, who was in the other car formation, was in a much more stable mood. He was seen riding his horse and running lightly. He gently swung the command knife in his hand and cut off the whole head of a soldier who turned around and ran away!
The head fell to the ground and blood splattered!
Lao Gao's blood spurted out and sprinkled directly on his face, making this usually honest and kind farmer look extremely ferocious!
With blood on his face, he looked around: "Those who retreat without permission will be killed without mercy!"
